Details

These packages are included in the base group, so no one has probably seen these error messages. They are actually dependencies for glibc, without them you cannot use locale-gen.

, and gzip (explicited) and sed needs glibc the you have a circular dependency.

Normally dependencies to {base} packages are unlisted. If you do not install {base} group completelly, is supposed that you know what are you doing.
